If they put an algorithm on the TL on this site I will give up on social media. I want to see posts from people I follow, when they post them. That is it. In years to come, when social media is dead, they will blame it's demise on deviating from this very simple formula

The answer to the "Priest unborn" riddle is actually in the first version printed in Child. It's the same cheat solution as found in Macbeth. Keep up the great work.
